Only gradual tanner I use

I use this product whenever I know I need to look tanned for something. I can get a really nice tan like I have been out in the sun for weeks in just days. I love how fast this gradual tanner works. The lotion is quite thick and does take a while to dry but I find has a nice fresh scent. I never get any uneven patches when I use this and I find it gives a very natural tan which I like. I found that even if I left a day without reapplying I wouldn't lose the tan straight away even after shaving.

Tips: Wait a while before putting clothes on. Make sure you wash your hands really well because it can turn your nails a yellow colour. Apply twice a day for a faster tan.

Dove Summer Glow

I bought this product one year ago and I am a loyal customer of this product! I must reveal I am quite tan myself however I use this 2-3 days in a row just before the day I wanna look super tan and it worked perfectly! However last summer I used it daily and by one week the fake-ish tan look was not noticeable. pretty good product, works subtly.

Tips: Be careful when applying- wash your hands afterwards or you could do what i do, rub your hands with a wet towel mainly between your fingers as the tan kindof stays on your hands without leaving orange spots. Also be careful with the ankle region- do not use socks until it absorbs otherwise it will leave obvious orange marks too.

Smooth, tanned legs!

Love this stuff. I'm super pale and this is the only tanning thing I use. It starts off as a subtle glow, not too noticable but each day you build it up it gets gradually darker until it turns into such a nice tan! It's great for paler people so you don't go orange and you can get your desired effect. It smells amazing, lasts for ages and moisturises great! It's a good price an does it's job well. It lasts a while too I usually put it on at night times but you just have to let it sink in before bed. I love that it doesn't to streaky, it's very smooth and natural looking. It comes in a squeeze bottle so it's easy to put straight onto your legs :)

Blown Away Love!

Great product to use everytime i'm out of the shower, it's part of my beauty routine. I love how easy it is to apply to the body, and does add moisterizer so body isn't dry and flaky. This will be something I will continue to buy, and for a pick me up use over winter I feel much better with a little tan, it's so natural looking and adds a good glow! bring on summer

Tips: Ensure you do wash your hands after applying been caught with orange marks between my hands with this, also I'm a natural read head, so fair,skin but always use medium to dark, find it actually is fine, and works like magic...

Great for a natural tan!

I love love love this moisturiser! I have olive skin and like to maintain this through winter as well as go a shade or two darker in the summer. The bottle is a decent size and the moisturiser comes out really easily. I love to use this straight after a shower and I rub the moisturiser in circular motions, making sure to apply evenly. I have the medium to dark shade and I love the fact that a day after using this I already have a natural looking tan. I don't find this product to be patchy or orange at all and it is so moisturizing on my body! I use this every day and find that exfoliating every few days helps keep my tan smooth and even. I find my skin really does look like it has a nice sun kissed glow to it and it is so easy to maintain. I would recommend this to others who want a natural glow to their skin, or even a light tan. It's very easy to use and maintain, it's really affordable (can usually pick this up from countdown on sale for $6) and it is great for hydrating and moisturizing the skin. Sometimes I use this on my face as well because my face is always a lot paler than my body. As a mum I like the convenience of this product and it really works for my busy lifestyle.

Tips: Exfoliate every few days to keep tan even. Use only every few days if you are quite fair as this product gives colour to your skin straight away.

Didn't irritate my sensitive skin!

I asked my mum to get me some fake tan from the pharmacy and she came back with this. I tried it and although the first two days I didn't notice much of a diffrence by the third I could see it starting to build a gradual tan. I get psoriasis on my legs and it comes and goes. At the moment I've got a bit on my legs and because we are coming into summer I need to take some of the white glare off them from being in pants all winter. I put it straight overtop of my moisturizer after exfoiliating in the shower and 3 days later I have the glow and no extra irritation to my psoriasis! I use the fair one because I am really pale. It's better than other tanners I've tried because it's so gradual I don't end up going orange! I will definitely keep using this for summers to come. It's affordable and gentle and it works well with my skin!

Tips: Exfoliate before using. Wash hands after applying. Don't apply straight to the knees or ankles- I normally use a little of the excess from my calves and shins and work down to my feet. Just so I don't get that patchy buildup in those areas. Use everyday until you have the level of tan desired then apply every 2-3 days. Don't forget to exfoliate eveey few daysto stop It going patchy.

My favourite product by far!

I have super pale skin - in fact mu legs look like they belong on a dead person! So I use this religiously nearing the end of spring to take he edge off and develop a good colour by the time bare legs and arms and required.

This is a bargain when on special at the supermaket (under $5!) and works so well. It doesnt go orange or smell like fake tan at all. The only problem I have with it is after using it for a while, it starts faking off my skin leaving darker patches, so I then have to exfoliate it all off and start fresh.

Moisturises well too, and leaves my skin soft and glowing.

Tips: Avoid overdoing ankles, elbows and belly buttons!

Golden Glow

I love using this tanner pre summer I have extremely pastey white legs that really never seem to tan no matter what, so Dove Summer glow helps keep my white legs from blinding people :P

I like to apply after exfoliating and shaving and then apply every 2-3 days it's a lovley absorbant cream that is really moisturizing and has a nice scent. Within a few hours I can see it starting to work.

Like some of the other ladies I do have to exfoliate it off after a few applications and start again as it starts to look a little or little orabe

But for the price it's a great tanner

SO GOOOOD

I love this product as I am naturally very pale and find it somewhat difficult to tan. I also love this product because it is easy to apply and isn't streaky nor is it blotchy like other fake tans I have tried. I use it like a moisturiser on my legs almost everyday which leaves me with a nice colour all year round :)

Tips: If you're using this product daily, exfoliate about once a week to prevent a build up of colour

I use it all the time.

I have used this product I don't know how many times and I love it! its a great way to build a gradual tan where you can decide how dark you wan to go. However if you don't use it right you can end up patchy. I find it's best applied straight after a shower to gain the best result. It has a very natural finish leaving you looking sun kissed and not orange.

Tips: Make sure you exfoliate! Particularly before you tan around you knees, ankles and elbows so the tan doesn't stick and darken becoming obvious that you are wearing fake tan.
